In this film project my main aim is to create comedy by making a parody of the B movie. It is meant to have poor production quality to add to the B movie style of film making. I want the audience to have a laugh out loud feel towards this film, to find it funny because of its low production quality and also because of the narrative.
Partybot 1999 follows a simple storyline much like Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure where they travel back in time to gather information for their history report.
Synopsis:
Ian22506 the futuristic robot who has been sent back in time to rediscover the ancient ways of the past, he was sent to 1999 where he “chills” with the homies of the past, Jack the party dude from 1999 shows Ian22506 around and shows him the way of the party.
Unfortunately Ian22506 is not accustomed to these unusual ways and spirals into a life of alcohol, lady toasters and crime. As he tries to return home Ian22506 discovers that the time machine has been damaged, so he sends a beam to his dudes in the future and help is swiftly sent.
On arrival Ian22506 tells his buddies about the ways of the past, and then they party like its 3025.
Ian22506 by now is partied out and decides to leave by himself to lead a life as a small town business man.
Partybot 1999 follows a simple narrative structure.
Exposition: IAN22506 is sent back in time, voice over tells us who he is and where it is set. The voice over tells us shortly why IAN22506 is here.
Development: IAN22506 meets people from the past and parties.
Complication: The time machine is broken.
Climax: IAN22506 sends for help, help arrives.
Resolution: IAN22506 leaves to lead a life as a small town business man.
I have chosen this narrative structure because I feel that it allows me to create a simple storyline which will let me cover everything in my plot and the audience will easily understand everything that is going on.
One of my main influences in the making of Partybot 1999 is the beastie boys, a New York hip-hop band. They mainly influenced me by their music video for their song intergalactic, directed by Adam Yauch, where a giant robot lands from outer space and attacks a city.
A director that influences me is Mel Brooks; he directed films like blazing saddles and Robin Hood men in tights. He is mostly known for his film farces and comedic parodies.

These will help influence me by giving me ideas of comedic lines and also how to create funny scenarios. I hope that in using these techniques I will be able to create a comedic short that will give the audience a few laughs.
Basically I want to base the style of my movie roughly around the idea of the “B movie” a low budget film which is usually a sci-fi film; this is because it is quite simple to create a sci-fi setting on a low budget.
